Tracking category edit
Hello. There's no need to manually tag every page you create with Category:Lookup database, you can find every page you create by following the database Contributions link and then (assuming your on a regular desktop view, not sure about mobile) you can click on the "Search for Contributions" dropdown to reveal various advanced filters that include the ability to "Only show edits that are page creations". You can also filter by userspace, so you can either show database&namespace=all&newOnly=1&title=Special%3AContributions every page you have created or database&namespace=2&newOnly=1&title=Special%3AContributions just your page creations in user space for example.

- Please remove Category:Lookup database from your header template. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 18:16, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. I replaced it with a "Contribs" link. I kept the category, but it's really useless. Lookup database (talk) 15:29, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- It's more than useless, such "created by" categories are deprecated because they just clutter up the category space and as they need active maintenance, are always less reliable than the automatic Contributions link. There's the separate matter that your username is particularly unhelpful as a category name without so much as a "pages created by ...", and I've certainly seen less confusing ones called out under WP:MISLEADNAME or the catch-all WP:UNCONF. To be honest, I suggest you request deletion of the category by adding {{db-self}} to it and I would recommend that you think about changing your WP:USERNAME to something less controversial on a site that is heavily database-driven.Le Deluge (talk) 15:20, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- In general I really don't edit that much but my username is kinda bad. Lookup database (talk) 21:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- I also recommend changing your username. I did after I had been editing regularly for a couple of months. It's very easy. Go to Wikipedia:Changing username. It would help if your username reflected the fact that you are a person, not a thing. Liz Read! Talk! 02:57, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Ok? Also why is my User Page even being edited other users aren't even supposed to be allowed to edit! Lookup database (talk) 16:29, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
